You can change the chemistry in you brain by choosing to focus on different thoughts.

Your brain always wants to do what is most efficient. The same is true of your thoughts. If you have always thought about something in a certain way, that is the pathway that your brain will naturally take since it is the most efficient. If you want to think of something differently, then you need to pick a different thought in order to create a new neural pathway.

By focusing on gratitude, you can reduce feelings of anxiety and depression and increase feelings of resiliency. This shifts your thought patterns towards positivity by boosting your mood and strengthening this new neural pathway in your brain. This also helps you bounce back from stressful events and acts as a buffer against internalizing situations.

You get to chose. How do you want to think? What do you want to create? How do you want to feel in your life? What thoughts do you want to choose? ​​Remember that you are the only person capable of doing the things that you do.
